For my operation I had a tube inserted in my nose down into stomach that drained the blood.

I am so sorry this happened to you, but its manageable, you're in good hands, and very soon you will be onto recovery

Please try to surround yourself with your support people around you and know that in time the new you will be experience a much better life than led you to here.

Also I find the drugs they give you can be a bit of a downer!

Hi, I'm praying for you to have a great recovery. I'm a cup half full kind of person with how I think and the energy I manifest. You are going to be fine, I understand the being tired of poor health (trust me), but you had the sense to go to the ER to be treated timely and that's saying a lot about you. Try not to have regrets about anything that you do for you in life, that is wasted time & energy. You made an informed decision to take your life back from obesity and all of the other health issues that accompany being obese-- so try not to regret getting healthy. There are going to be a few hiccups and bumps in our roads that will be unique to our journeys and this is what makes the victory so great for each of us. Your son and husband are all in for you and will be strong when you are weak, scared, tired or uncertain. You can't reverse this, so try to make peace with your new tool and come to an agreement that you'll both work together and learn to support one another and compromise....Feel better and let us know.

Hang in there, Emma. Better days are coming. You have a lot of support here too. I know that it’s not the same as having people physically support you but mental support can be very helpful as well.

Keeping you in my thoughts and following your progress. Godspeed on healing and getting back on track.

Sending you gentle ((((hugs)))) across the net.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
